An electric dipole has the magnitude of its charges as \(q\) and its dipole moment is \(p\). It is placed in a uniform electric field \(E\). If its dipole moment is along the direction of the field, the force on it and its potential energy are respectively:
1.
\(q\cdot E\) and \(p\cdot E \)
2.
zero and minimum
3.
\(q\cdot E\) and maximum
4.
\(2q\cdot E\) and minimum
